Evaluating Enterprise Software - Business Process or Feature/Function-Based Approach? All the above, Perhaps? (6 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic, Olin Thompson & Joseph Strub
Oct 25, 2003
Abstract : Owing to learning from the past experiences and to the help of specialized selection service providers, selecting an enterprise package has to a degree, become a routine occurrence in the life of an IT organization. Recently however, there has been much noise created by some pundits and vendors belittling the supposedly 'archaic' way of selecting software through functions and features. Contrary to that, they would rather sell 'business processes' or 'solutions,' further confusing the already overwhelmed customer. The nagging doubts and questions like 'Have we been selecting software the wrong way all this time?!' naturally abound.

Process Manufacturing Software: A Primer (8 Pages)
by Joseph J. Strub
Apr 21, 2003
Abstract : This article looks at ERP software with a very narrow focus, namely that of process manufacturing. Understanding the differences between process and discrete manufacturing can assist you in emphasizing and concentrating on those functions and features that matter most in the process world. This emphasis may clarify your choice of software or, more importantly, help you avoid being saddled with ill-fitting concepts and procedures. If you are a process manufacturing expert, you may find this article somewhat basic. However, for those of you just getting into a process manufacturing project or those thinking that process and discrete manufacturing, like the poetic line, 'a rose is a rose is a rose,' are the same, read on. For experts, feel free to disagree with my premises as your viewpoint would be of interest.
